Just went and test drove this vette. They only offered me $10.5k for my 41k mile unmodified (except for catback) WS6 M6.

They're asking $28,950 for the vette. Only mods are Cray 17x9/18x10.5 wheels (which im not a huge fan of but can deal with).

HEre are the numbers:

2002 Z06 15k miles: Asking Price $28,950
NADA Trade In $26,200
NADA Retail $29,575
Kelly Blue Book: Suggested Retail $30,480
Kelly Blue Book: Trade in $23,675
Kelly Blue Book: Bought from Private party: $27,250

2000 WS6 41k miles: Dealer offered me $10,500
NADA Low $10,850,
NADA Mid $13,650,
NADA High $18,700
Kelly Blue Book: Suggested Retail $14,730
Kelly Blue Book: Trade In$10,125

Im guessing they paid about $24,000 for the Z06 so they have about $5000 to play with and they'll probably make about $3000 off my car so that would be about $8000 profit for them if everything is at their offered price. Im thinking I have them give me at least $12-13k for my car. What do you guys think? Vette values are new to me so Im trying to do as much research as possible. Also I have to think about the fact that there will probably be snow on the ground in two months and this thing will be parked in the garage all winter.

Z06

My WS6

btw there is probably a good chance someone from the dealership is reading this. This internet place is such a small world. lol

Dude what the fuck kinda drugs was the owner of that car on when they picked those butt ugly wheels?

Negotiate with them man, you live in freakin alaska for christ sake lol They want top dollar for that car and appear to be low balling you. I think you got leverage with fall coming in a cold climate like where you live.

Yeah the guy told me "Yeah i can't really give ya more for your car with fall coming up since its not a truck" and I reply with "Yeah I totally understand I really want you to lower the price of the corvette because fall is coming up." lol

Nice retort

They are definitely lowballing you on your WS6.

Ive looked at that option as well. The prices Ive seen WS6s go for up here are well uhh... I'll keep that to myself. There just isnt much love for RWD cars up here in Alaska.

Whats a minimum price you think I should get out of them for my WS6? I know it seems like my questions are neverending but you know I just wanna make sure I don't screw myself...at least not without lube anyways.

I would want 12k for it.

Dude I was figuring it wouldnt be a big difference from my WS6 but when I hit the pedal I felt something I havent felt since the day I got my 455 running in my 79. In other words she runs good!!

Say good bye to the TA and GET THE DAMN Z !!!

**Danger731** · 08-19-2008, 07:05 AM

don't trade in

I kept my 02 Z/28.

One dealer offered 3500 for it ! nice profit for them. I found the C5 for 23k

That Z06 seems 1k too much from what I've researched and I did a lot.

If they give you 10 k that is great.

TRADE IN = ASS RAPE

Drive both or get them to drop it down 1k

AFORDABLE USED CARS is the name of the dealer??????

I would never buy from a used car dealer....

reason why:
-used car dealers buy the left over crap that officials OEM dealers dont want.
-used car dealers buy cars from auctions and wholesalers
-used car dealers buy and sell used/abused cars
-poor mechanics that can not certify or look over the car
-deal with poor / 2nd tier finance companies.

in this situation more then likely the used car dealer bought the vette for $10-$15 from a OEM dealer or wholesaler. The car was beat to piss and the OEM dealer didnt want it.
98% that is fact
2% are lucky and find a gem

Those are odds you dont play.

then again your in alaska so the story might be different
